So post him talking shit or gtfo... I don't like it when people spend a ton of money making power only because they want Dyno numbers to brag about, unfortunately I am learning that most people that build their cars never race em so as long as they are cool peeps I just deal with it.
How many race on here and how many dont.
- Thread starter hiimdrummer03
- Start date
Yeh go ahead and post it on here.
An ll of the above would have been nice, but then I know a majority may have chosen that one.
Make a fake name and come on here.your a big man hiding behind computer.

thats same here :rockon:
i open track, auto-x , drag race , car shows & cruise inn`s i also daily drove mine for 2yrs but now i have a d.d. so it only comes out on nice days or the events i described above
I did my 1/4 mile time on street tires spinning right to 4th. Lets just say that when I went and put on DR's I was kicked off the track and I was forced to spectate lol. I have a vert and no cage as of yet. Also there are members that lie about what they make by about 200hp. How do I know you ask? Cause I raced one member with a mach 1 that only made "495" hp to my 588 at the time and he walked on me lol. I raced my buddy that I knew for a fact made 476 and I walked on him so someone is lying and it aint my driving lol.
hahah , i did it last year during spring break, left friday afternoon, got home around 2am, changed my oil, slept, woke up at 8am, went to sacramento, went 11.91 and came back home , car didnt even flinch
You can still have fun without racing someone. It can be fun taking that on-ramp onto the freeway, the rear tires at the edge of adhesion as you come around the corner, trading lateral grip for forward bite as the car straightens out and you smoothly merge into 80 mph traffic. Or it can be fun dropping it into 3rd and tromping on it to pass those 3 cars ahead that refuse to pass that RV when the way is clear. Or it can be fun pulling out and feathering the throttle to minimize wheelspin as you merge into traffic, looking over to grin at the wide eyes and open mouths of the people in the car next to you as you match their speed in just a few seconds.
That's whats nice about having so much power. You have all that you need. You have so much available you have to finesse the gas pedal, not just mash it all the time. And just because we don't race it doesn't mean we never have. Besides, if you were going to buy a Cobra, would you want to buy one that was regulary raced? I think most people would not, so why would you want to own one that was regularly raced? But thats just me.
No, that's not really me. And I know plenty of you do own cars that are regularly raced, and are fine with that, but I hope I made my point. Everyone is different. I would race on a road course given the opportunity, but convertibles without roll bars aren't accepted for racing in most places and I am NOT putting a roll bar in my vert.
^ very well stated, and sums up my sentiments on owning this car perfectly!:beer:
I don't track it, but am used to having a badass DD, (last one 95gt w/687rwhp), and to smoke an occasional vette /maro

Its definetly fun having a badass d/d.
I have raced my 1990 GT but not the Cobra. I really have not had the opportunity to. The 2nd year after I bought it FFW shut its doors and that was the only time I ever made it to a track. The closest ones around here are 3 - 4 hours away.
I don't have a KB or whipple yet, so I didn't vote. But to be honest I dont race mine anyways. I barely drive it and when I do I don't really drive it too hard. Don't get me wrong I like to feel the power every once in a while but typically I'm satisfied just knowing its there. Eventually I will make it to the track though and see what she has in her.
I enjoy turning wrenches and working on the cobra just as much as I do driving her. It is nice to reap the rewards and performance of countless hours building my car from the ground up...it feels fulfilling [probably also why I am an engineer, lol]
So I would say the closest option would be 'performance'..there is no substitute :]
